I suggest you drink a spoonful. If you have a saltwater pool it will taste like the ocean. If it tastes like the local swimming baths, it's tapwater loaded with chlorine to kill things that are presumably all over your body, as you're the only one using it. Go to the filter and see if you can see an attachment connected to the pipes that looks like it has plates in it like a battery with wire running to it this will usually be the highest part of the piping. if it has this and the water tastes salty in the pool you have a salt water pool. However it sounds like you need some instruction so I suggest you have a talk with your pool shop about your system, and all will be revealed

∙ 13y agoSaltwater pools generally will have a salt cell installed within the Plumbing usually after the heater. It is the cell where the chlorine is produced. It should have a cord on it that leads to a power center. Having your water simply tested for salt will not determine whether or not it is saltwater. Even pools using liquid chlorine(Sodium Hypochlorite) can have high amounts of salt if they haven't been drained in a while.

∙ 14y agoA salt water pool is a chlorine pool. The difference is that the chlorine is manufactured in the system by the chlorine generator. Otherwise NO DIFFERENCE!!

How do you kill ringworm fungus in saltwater pool?
Pee. I know it sounds gross, but ringworm is killed by urine. I know there is a lot of controversy around the difference between peeing in the pool and peeing into the pool, but in this case i would recommend the latter. Or you could just raise the PH balance. Why did you go for saltwater anyhow? Good old-fashioned chlorine.

No A salt water pool is in fact also chlorine pool, the difference being that with a salt water pool a salt water chlorinator converts the salt that is in the water into chlorine gas which is then dissolved into the water while the filter is running. the conversion wont have any adverse effects on the pool.
What is a chlorine generator?
Many people are choosing to remodel their swimming pool systems to add saltwater chlorination. With a saltwater pool system, a chlorine generator is added to the pool's filtration system. The water circulates through the chlorinator, where salt produces a chlorine gas that dissolves into the water. That chlorine in turn, breaks down and turns into salt, cycling the process all over again.
